Chapter 1033 I''m Sorry (Part Four)
"Well, I guess you are right. How are you doing? How''s the capital city treating you? Isn''t it great fun?"
Edward asked casually in a gentle tone, he wanted to know if Leena was alright because he still felt
surprised about Leena''s call. If only they were together, his little sister would have seen the affection
that instantly shed in his eyes as he talked with her.
"No. It''s no fun without you all here." Leena didn''t lie about that. She really thought the capital city was
no fun without her brothers and friends. She already had a tough time getting along with Kevin''s sister.
The thing that happened between Louisa and her just hours ago wasn''t as pleasant either. Then top it
up with Nathan''s attitude. Everything just made she feel very lonely.
"Wait a minute, Leena. Why does your voice sound so weird? Have you been crying?" Edward
immediately straightened his back. He was sure that there was something wrong with his little sister''s
voice. Did something happen to her? Was Kevin''s family not treating her right? Edward''s brain was
suddenly bombarded by all the negative possibilities. Why did he have a bad feeling about this? He
could feel that Leena wasn''t telling him everything.
"No! Of course not. You worry too much. I''m just not used to the weather here so I caught a cold. That''s
all." Leena would never tell Edward what exactly happened because Edward was overprotective. It
would only go worse if he knew because he would definitely rush here and take her home in a sh. So
she put on a smiley face for her brother and tried her best to be strong though he couldn''t see her. It
was nice to know that Edward still cared so deeply about her.
"A cold? Again? Well, it seems that my worry is in fact legit. Haven''t you been taking good care of
yourself as Tom had told you? You get sick so easily and I''m not happy about it." Suddenly, Edward
was displeased with Kevin. What was he doing? Why didn''t he take good care of his sister? Leena was
by his side all this time! How could he not notice that Leena could easily catch a cold? He would
definitely have a word with him once they were back. Kevin couldn''t keep ignoring Leena any more. He
wouldn''t allow it.
"It''s just a cold! You have absolutely nothing to worry about. I will be healthy again in a few days. Plus,
please don''t tell Mr. Cold that I''ve caught a cold. He would be worried sick." Leena knew Duke so well
and she was aware that Duke also cared so much about her. There was no doubt that her brother
would rush to the capital city even if her problem was just a small cold. Mr. Cold was just really like that.
There was no way of talking him out of something once he made up his mind.
"Well, that can be negotiated. How will you convince me to not tell Duke about your sickness though?
What do I get out of this?" Edward suddenly wanted to tease her. He found it quite amusing messing
with her and watching her being all flustered.
"Well. If you really want me to do something for you, I guess I can go check your house in the capital
city for you. You know, just to check if the house is still yours or if it has already been stolen and sold by
others in secret." Leena was just worrying about how to mention this to him. She didn''t expect that
Edward would give her such a good chance to bring the topic about his house up. She felt relieved. In
this case, she wouldn''t have to make up some excuses and lie to him anymore.
"You can rest assured. That''s not possible. Nobody dares to sell my house without my permission. After
all, no one would want to endanger his life by doing such a thing." Edward was confident about this,
thus, he didn''t even worry about the kind of situation Leena imagined happening.
"Edward, just tell me where it is! I''m already in the capital city right now! Shouldn''t I know where my
brother''s house is? It''s quite reasonable!" Leena pleaded. She had to know the address to Edward''s

house because that house was the only hiding ce she could think of. She couldn''t give it up so
easily.
"Huh. Do you want to go there? Are you kidding? Do you want to spend some time alone with Kevin
without his family intruding? Am I right?" Edward had a knowing smile on his face. Well, he was
married too and he knew the feeling when you wanted to be alone with your other half. Thus, he clearly
understood what Leena was thinking now. Or so he thought.
"Ummm... Edward, there''s no need to say it out loud, okay? Don''t be a smartass." Leena didn''t correct
Edward even if what he said squeezed her heart painfully. It was fortunate that he couldn''t see her face
or he would definitely know that she was lying. To be honest, her brother had just pinned point what her
heart exactly wanted, a moment with just Kevin alone! It was just bad though that it wasn''t the truth and
those words made her sad again.
"Alright, alright. Calm down. I was just teasing. I will text you the addresster and will also make a call
to let the guards know that you will be there." Edward shook his head. How could he possibly refuse
Leena? That was just impossible! Besides, he bought his house in the capital city out of whim. If Leena
wanted to go there then he could just let her as she pleased. Everything would be okay with him, as
long as Leena was happy.
